Quick Installation question

[dprice]

What exactly is included in the free installation? I live in an apartment and my big screen tv is in a room that is not currently wired for cable or anything. Can I get dishnetwork in that room without having to pay additional fees?

What does the installer actually have to do? Do the cables have to go directly from the satellite to the room where the tv is? That's a lot of walls to go through. I'm clueless. And about how long should it take to wire from scratch?

Ask your apartment complex for their rules? Many won't allow mounting to thier building or penetrating their walls.

We have a balcony, so I believe it's allowed by law.

From a technical standpoint, I was just wondering what the installation involves and what exactly is included with "free installation?"

Well heres a link to Dish that states what all is included.
Also just because you have a Balcony doesn't mean its all that simple. You need to be facing in the proper direction and you will need approval from management if you can use the balcony. Or you might have to use the "pole in a bucket" mount.

Straight from the back of the Service Agreement.(Which you will be required to sign after the installation is completed to your satisfaction.)
